In their last outing the Nomads brushed by the Acadia Hatchetmen 15-0 to win the Maritime Senior title. However the Axemui are ex- pected to be a much more potent force than their intermediate bro- thers. They have lost only one game in intercollegiate play. That to St. Dunstan's who shaded them 5-4 at Acadia. Last Saturday Acadia dropped N- 5. Tech. 9-2 to put the cap on the intercollegiate title.

The association added Gigi Se- guin of Quebec City as the extra member in the hope that the Cana- dian Olympic Association. which has the final say in the matter. could be persuaded that Canada has more than 10 skiers of Olympic calibre, local ski officials said. - But the Olympic association has since confirmed its decision to

chill overtook bug-eyed supporters of Toronto Argonauts Friday when word got around that there was some uncertainty over whether Billy Shipp would play in the east- ern footbsll final- If such mis- fortune should befall Shipp, Mon- treal Alouettes undoubtedly would rule even stronger favorites for to- day's all-important clash in which the east's Grey Cup representative will be decided.

Prevailing odds have favored the Als 5 to 1 or even money to win by 10 points.

Shipp injured his ankle in last Saturday's semi-final agai n s t Hamilton Tiger-Cats. If he has to be left out of the lineup today his absence would be sorely felt of- fenslvely and defensively in the Argo front line.

By Monday. the Bruins could be in second place. nudging Mon- treal for the league lead. On the other hand. they could be in fifth spot. That's how close the race is behind Canadians,

Rangers are second with 1! points. six less than the Habs. Boston is two points behind New York in third place. Then it's Chicago with 15 points, Detroit one behind the Hawks and Leafs in the cellar with 12 points.

limit the ski team to 10 members.

The solution must be found by n 'T('ASA committee under association President Bud Clark of Ottawa. It may appear with a minimum of disappointment and embarrass- mcnt when the skiers begin train- ing at Mont Tremblant. Que, Dec. 10. Their physical condition, suid Ottawa officials, may do it.

"A summer can make a lot of difference in -an athlete's perform- ance," said one official.

CASA MAY ACT

But. if the training period doesn't whittle the team down to size. the CASA committee will. Other com- mittee members are team man- ager Patricia Ramage of Brant- ford. 0nt.. and Arthur liirst of Montreal. The committee would de- cide who to cut in consultation with team coach Ernie McCulloch of Mont Tremblant.

All performances being equal. Gigi would be the disappointed skier. The team is selected scarri- ing in performance in past ski meets. She was ranked 11th.

But four other members-Ob tawa's Anne lieggtveit and broth- ers Art and Andy Tommy and " ' Langlais of Quebec City -lstiil must pass medical examin- ations. All suffered broken legs last winter. They are to be amined Dec. 8 by an Ottawa medical team under Dr. Max Klotz. former pres- ident of the capital's Gatineau ski Zone.

All but Art Tommy were injured in skiing mishaps. There has been some concern here recently over back injuries also suffered by Art In the automobile accident that broke his leg. But he now is re- ported in good shape. So are the three others.

Besides the possibility that one of the four injured last winter won't pass medical muster. of course. is the chance that some other team member won't perform up to snuff in training. GM. therefore. "will not auto- matically be cut." said one official.

"The melancholy days are come. the saddest of the year...." Nov- ember is a sad month at its best. It signifies the end of life in re- gard to Nature's realm and in its present mood it is even sadder then usual. There is one bright spot..we can look forward to: "The time when the singing of birds is come..." November is a month of dead leaves, withered ferns, leaden skies; the harsh scream of the blue jays or the harsh croak of ravens replaces the joyous singing of song birds during woodland strolls.
